"Offshore" is an independent documentary that brings together varying perspectives on working in offshore oil and gas and renewable energy - and explores what the coming energy transition means for workers and communities around the UK North Sea.

The film looks at how communities and regions have been impacted by past industrial decline, the risks workers face in an increasingly precarious industry and how they can organise for the future.

The climate crisis means we must rethink our energy systems: where we get energy from, how it's produced and who benefits from it. Workforces and communities all over the UK will be impacted by the energy transition and have the potential to benefit from more publicly owned, local and renewable energy.

We will watch the documentary together, have a post screening discussion, and also review worker demands for a just transition.

Please note: to assist with comprehension of the accents, we will be screening this with English subtitles. 

Learning Objectives:

Participants will learn what it takes to shift policy to support and enable workers to move from working in fossil fuels into renewables.

This course directly supports UN Sustainable Development Goals:

Goal 7 - Affordable and Clean Energy
